Welcome to Java Island

Java is Indonesia's fifth-largest island and become main island. Its 130 million people make up 65% of Indonesia's entire population, and makes Java the most populated and also crowded with people in the world, dominating the nation politically and economically. Covering an area of 127,569 sq. km (7% of Indonesia's area) and with a population density of 940 people/sq. km, Java is the world's most crowded major island as well. 

Java offers tourism and magnificent objects.This is a quite remarkable island geographically with no less than 121 active volcanoes with two of them very well known among local & foreigner visitor are Merapi volcano & Bromo  volcano . Add to that a host of major national parks and, despite its very crowded nature, the island has lots to offer the visitor who appeciates outdoor attractions. 

Java hosts the teeming, messy capital of Jakarta, the special administrative district of Yogyakarta, and the provinces of East Java, West Java, Central Java and Banten. Three main ethnic groups live on the island: West Java hosts the Sundanese, the Javanese are spread across West and Central Java, and the Madurese come from the island of Madura (a part of East Java). Also there is group native Betawi which stay in Jakarta region, Jakarta actually is a mix of many ethnic groups and become melting pot city in Indonesia.

Jakarta, the capital, is a colossal metropolis with all the problems of a city vastly overstretched, it won’t grab your attention for long unless you’re a mad shopper or über-urbanite. But the rest of the island has offerings a lot of that shouldn’t be ignored. A string of volcanoes lace the island like fiery rubies. Some are docile giants, while others blow their top at the drop of a Javanese fez, Mountain Bromo is a must for any visitor. Pounding the southern coast is the Indian Ocean, a magical sight, but it can be dangerous for swimming. There are, however, some fine beach enclaves, such as Pangandaran beach, Java’s premier beach resort, and world-class surf breaks at Ujung Kulon and Alas Purwo National Parks. Java’s calmer northern side hides less-developed tropical islands. Inspired by such natural beauty, and influenced by Hindu-Buddhist, Muslim and Western invaders, the Javanese have over the centuries created temples and kraton (palaces) of unique splendour. The Buddhist temple Borobudur is an architectural wonder and some of the oldest Hindu temples in Java can be found in the lofty Dieng Plateau.Cultural city of Yogyakarta and Solo are perfect places to sample Javanese art.

Getting around the island is fairly easy, with a reasonable and easy accessible  train, bus and plane network. The Javanese are keen domestic tourists, so much of the island's tourism infrastructure is geared toward locals, but it's easy enough for keen foreign travellers to tap into the network.
